Malookan lying dead at their respective places. The applicant went to his Nekmard, informed him about the incident and then lodged the report.

5. ' A bail application was moved before the trial Court where the respondent No.1 was granted bail under the impugned order. The applicant was dissatisfied with the said order therefore, he has field the present application for cancellation of bail.

6. ' I have heard Advocates for the applicant, respondent No.1, A.A.-G. For the State and perused the record.

7. ' Learned counsel for the applicant has stated that the name of the applicant is mentioned in the F.I.R., specific part has been assigned to him of causing fire-arm injuries to both the deceased; that the applicant and co-accused had motive to kill the deceased, therefore, the trial Court was not justified in granting bail to the respondent No.l.

8. ' On the other hand learned Advocate for the respondent No.1 has stated that the principles for grant of bail and cancellation of bail are quite different from each other; that the respondent No.1 is on bail since last two years; and that he is attending the Court regularly and has not misused the concession of bail. He has further stated that the applicant had not shown as to what was wrong in order of the trial Court in granting the bail, therefore, the said order cannot be set aside in this manner.

9. ' On the other hand learned A.A.-G. Has supported the arguments of Advocate for the applicant and has stated that the trial Court had conducted deeper appreciation of, evidence which was not permissible at bail stage; that the P.Ws. In their 161 and 164, Cr.P.C. Statements have supported the prosecution case and implicated the respondent No.1 with the commission of this crime therefore, prima facie case was made against the respondent No.1 as such the trial Court was not justified in granting the bail to him.

10. ' In reply to the arguments learned Advocated for the respondent No.1 has drawn my attention to the ground No.9 of the memo. Of application by stating that no substance has been produced to substantiate the allegation that the respondent No.1 has threatened the complainant party of dire consequences if the case was not withdrawn. He has further stated that the trial Court had granted the bail when the State counsel had raised no objection to the grant of bail.

11. I have given due consideration to the arguments and find that trial Court granted bail to the respondent No.1 on 13-3-2002 and the present application has been filed on 30-5-2002. The name of the respondent is mentioned in the F.I.R. Specific role of causing fire-arm injuries has been assigned to him in respect of both the deceased. The medical evidence supports the ocular version. The P.Ws. In their 161 and 164, Cr.P.C. Statements have supported the prosecution case and implicated the respondent No.1 with the commission of the crime as such there are reasonable grounds for believing that the respondent is involved in the case.

12. ' After considering material available on the record I am of the considered view that the trial Court was not justified in granting the bail to the respondent No.1 therefore, impugned order dated 13-3- 2002 is set aside. The process server has reported that respondent No.1 is in judicial lock-up Kashmore in connection with crime No.923 of 2001 of Police Station, Bakhshapur. The jail authorities are directed to produce the respondent No.1 before the trial Court on the date of hearing, after obtaining such date from the trial Court. The application is allowed.
